Ferguson Valley

Its been a short while since i last blogged lol... i would have probably blogged abt this closer to the day i went.. but well can't really be helped when i have had like assignments and tests and exams to compete with... OMGOSH its been a tiring week.. and since my mid sem exam is over on thurs... its like a WEEKEND !! well i went to a placed called ferguson valley... its somewhere near bunbury i think its in between infested places or something like that.. haha.. but its a damn nice drive down south.. probably about 2 hrs? its a nice place to go.. better scenary than going to swan valley, but swan valley suits the purpose of buying wine as its closer.. haha.. anyway the purpose for going to ferguson valley was for my dearest and only cousin in perth with me was to celebrate her birthday with her close friends and me.. lol.. and it all started in an EARLY sunday morning at 8.15 am kershia picked me up... and we headed to amelia's (aka kar jie to me) house at hamilton near freo.. and started out from there... we had 3 cars.. Marian's royal trotters which is a toyota echo which u can see just below... a Subaru and a hyundai which i didn't get a snap of..

This is little Scarlett one of amelia's friends daughter.. don't u think she is just sooo cute?


I was travelling in Royal Trotters.. and the 2 heads that you see in front on the right is Marian and on the left is Kershia..
This was our first stop of the day at ferguson valley and it was lunch and we stopped at the place called Wild Bull... I can't imagine joining in the aussie culture of drinking alcohol in daylight... wahaha.. and the beer was pretty good.. except for the bitter which was horrible which is 3rd from the first glass... i can only remember the other 2 which was the Cider and the Irish Beer... and those 2 were definately excellent... i didn't just have beer for lunch but also a pie.. which was pretty good but didn't whip my camera out for a picture of it...

Kershia and my Dearest cousin..
We stopped at a lavender place.. can't remember the name but they had lots of stuff in lavender... and they even served a LAVENDER cheese on the cheese platter.. it tasted like perfume in the mouth.. haha..
Next we headed to a winery called Ferguson Falls.. I didn't buy any wines though...
Next we actually went to visit a tree which was supposedly to have survived fires and whatsorts.. and it was supposed to be 300-500 years old... it was huge but really nothing much.. hahaha.. anyway we headed next to a gnome village.. haha.. and there were gnomes brought by people from all over the world and placed there.. and there were stories there... and the one just above was like my fav.. haha... cool isn't it...

From the Mafia... Marian !!
The only other winery that we went to.. Wovenfield.. didn't have the port i liked...
No wine before 9

This is probably the fastest i've ever travelled in any car before... hahaha...

Then the day ended at ferguson valley... as the sun was setting.. can u see the ray of lights coming from the clouds... doesn't it remind you of pictures of like god appearing in such granduer.. haha... It fully ended with a good meal at this thai restaurant somewhere in safety bay... the food was really good.. wahaha.. just that i think its a little far for me to go back to ever again.. haha..

Till next time....
